Report: Jackson tells 'Melo he expects Kerr will be Knicks' coach


Phil Jackson seems to be dead set on hiring Steve Kerr as the Knicks' next head coach.

Jackson sat down with free-agent-to-be Carmelo Anthony last week and discussed a wide-range of topics, including his plans to hire Kerr as New York'€™s head coach, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Anthony reportedly expressed his concern to Jackson about Kerr'€™s lack of coaching experience. Jackson told Anthony that he would be visible during the training camp and available on the sidelines, according to the report.
Will Carmelo Anthony stay with Knicks if Steve Kerr is hired as head coach?

"Phil wanted [Anthony] to know that Kerr and his thinking will simply be an extension of himself," one of the sources told The Journal. "He wanted Carmelo to know he'll still be able to coach him by extension."

Previous reports indicated that Jackson wants to hire Kerr once

WWE Raw : The Shield goes hunting and Kane puts Bryan through hell

Stephanie McMahon called out WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan Something is not sitting right with one of WWE’s principal owners, and it’s the state of affairs surrounding the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan. Despite the heartfelt address the “Yes!” Man delivered to the WWE Universe less than an hour earlier, Stephanie McMahon – who’s lately asserted herself as Bryan’s primary front-office foe thanks to Triple H’s preoccupation with The Shield – more or less insinuated Bryan’s injury was proof positive of what she’s been saying all along: That Bryan can’t hang with the “A-plus players” of WWE. Watch: Kane puts Bryan through hell She demanded a face-to-face with the Champion of Champions, but what she got was a glimpse of just how far she’d gone by returning Kane’s mask to him: The former Director of Operations emerged instead of Bryan, dragging the bearded husk of his former tag-team partner and depositing him on the stage Stephanie, who could onl

WWE Champion Randy Orton vs. Big Show

The Authority’s settlement with Big Show may not have cost millions of dollars or control of the company, but it could very well put in jeopardy The Face of WWE. At the 27th Annual Survivor Series, the big anti-Authority who packs dynamite in his fist will challenge Randy Orton for the WWE Championship, a condition of the seven-footer’s very public out-of-court settlement with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Watch a video preview of The Face vs. The Fist The championship bout comes after months of Big Show being subjected to humiliating power plays by The Authority. Fueled by pent-up rage, the keeper of the KO Punch undoubtedly relishes the opportunity to dismantle Triple H and Stephanie’s chosen one and reclaim the WWE Title in one fell swoop. WWE’s fall classic has historically been very kind to The World’s Largest Athlete: Big Show, a six-time World Champion, began both of his WWE Title reigns at Survivor Series. In 1999, he defeated Triple H and The Rock in a Triple Threat Matc

Coleen and Wayne Rooney go for the effortless look as they celebrate a relative's birthday in Manchester

She has her own capsule collection with Littlewoods and he has enough money to buy the best clothes in the world, but Wayne and Coleen Rooney seemed to forget this when they dined out in Manchester, this weekend. The pair were seen dining in trendy restaurant Australasia wearing less-than-flattering clothing for a night away from their two sons. Together, they joined Coleen's brother and his girlfriend for a family meal. The new restaurant serves modern Australian cuisine underpinned by European cooking techniques. The result is a blend of Indonesian, Southeast Asian influences and Australia's strong ties with Japan. It has become the latest hot-spot for footballers and their other halves. Sadly, despite the plush new venue, the pair weren't in sync on the fashion front. While Coleen opted for a smart/casual effort - which included a snakeskin-effect dress, a leather jacket and black ankle boots - Wayne seemed to make no effort whatsoever. The multi-million
